Yes.. and when developers are paid $500000+ a year, what happens to the price of commercial software?
This might be good for open source software in the short term, but I think most OSS programmers also earn money doing programming - hell also they need food, right? So when they loose their jobs because their businesses go bankrupt because noone will pay for their sollutions and rather go back to pen, paper and possibly pocket calculators (though they will cost 20000$ because they contain software too) ...what happens to OSS? It gets bad because noone know how to program ...and the story ends with a world where the countries with this new law looses, and todays third world countries win - because they don't have that law - until - they are taken over by right wing record companies.
